The infant who was declared dead by Max Hospital and was found alive by the family on the way to the cremation ground, died at a private hospital today.

The twins born to Shalimar Bagh resident Ashish and Varsha at Max hospital on November 30 were 22 weeks premature.

The babies were declared dead by a team of doctors at the hospital. As the shattered family were taking the bodies of the babies to a cremation ground, they noticed some movement and found one of the infants alive. This baby was rushed to Agarwal Hospital in Pitampura.

"We did our best to save the child but we had to give up at about 12 in the afternoon. He was on life support since the time he was brought here. He was bleeding from multiple organs and he could not survive," said Dr Sandeep Gupta of Agarwal Hospital.
